, 1887-10-20

THE Minneapolis Tribune will come
out to-day with a public acknowledge
ment of the wretched blunder which ii
made in its vulgar attack upon President
and Mrs. Cleveland /. The managing editor
of the Tribune is a young fellow named
Haskell whose Instructive newspaper
sense seems to be represented by an
aching void. His father is one
of the most notable editors in.the country,
having been for years at the helm of the
Boston Herald, the most widely circulated
newspaper in New England. ~TheyoungeI
Haskell, however, appears to be still III
the leading string stage of his existence,
and might be cnrted to a convenient tan
merry without arousing a shrleking protest
from sensible people.

A DANGEROUS PRAIRIE GROWTH.

The Curious Plant Known as the "Tum-
bic Weed"-A Great Menscs.
w. +. Niederlander, a prominent real
estate man, has on exhibition in the win
dow of his office a fine specimen of the
curious plant known as the tumble
weed" This specimen was taken from
the old fair grounds last year after the
grounds were abandoned. The plant is
a mass Of branches, spherical in form,
and so tightly interviewer as to form al
o a compact mass. Like the earth,
this globulous mass of branches is fat
tened at the pdfes-or more so. The pres
ent specimen is about five feet at its
greatest diameter. Mr.. Niederlander says
ne has seen specimens fully twice the size.
The weed once grow plentifully through
this country and Colorado. When green
hey present a very pretty appearance,
md look more like a dwarf tree than a
weed. They arc very dangerous in case
of a prairie fire, and often dangerous in
plain wind storms when there is no fire.
in case of fire the flames seem to strip
the plant of its leaves, and it at once goes
.olling before the flaming hurricane a
perfect wheel of fire. These revolving
wheels of fire will jump any ordinary
furrow or fire break and carry the fire
INTO the timber or grass, as the case may
be. Nothing can stop their progress but
a river. Into these they jump, leaping
out into the stream forty, fifty or sixty
feet, and go down with a hiss, throwing
up a column of steam where they sink.
Il have seen hundreds of these plants
in Barber county and the Siquashie val
ley said Mr.. Niederlander. ''When
started to rolling in n fire no ordinary
horse can u before them. Once, in the
Siquashie valley, l only saved myself by
driving my team into the river, which L
fortunately reached just in time"
In Colorado wind storms these weeds
are also a source of much danger. In
Middle park n few years ago a party of
travellers were suddenly overtaken by a
storm. Seeing what they supposed to be
a mass of huge powders in the distance,
they made for them, thinking they would
afford at least partial shelter. To their
surprise, as they approached, the bowl
ders suddenly broke loose and commenced
rolling toward them at a furious rate,
cutting all sorts of curious capers and gy-
rating m~enaCingly as they came. At
times they would strike an obstruction and
bound high in the air, and again striking
the ground their rapid, circular
motion. The travellers put spurs to their
horses, and it was only by the greatest
effort that they managed to escape from
the track Of these monsters, On exami-
nation they found their supposed bowl
lers were really immense weeds which
had been tom up by the roots by the
wind storm.
These weeds are SO solid that they are
a great menace to man and beast under
such circumstances. 1mpelled by q heavy
wind, they would go with force enough
to kill a horse, and a human being is in
great danger if he cannot get out of tho
track of these monsters when they are
running before a hurricane or in case of
a prairie fire.-Wichita Journal.

Tho Pacific coast boundary.

The Pacific ocean boundary of the
United States has a greater extent of
coast line than the Atlantic shore. The
aggregate of our shore line on the Pacific
is 10, 734 miles, while on the Atlantic it
is II, $50 miles and on the Gulf of Mexico
j,S43. California contains /, 136 miles of
the coast line on the Pacific, while she
also has 272 miles of island shore
and $40 miles of tide water river
shore, making altogether 1,64s miles OF
shore line. Texas has an actual coast
line on the gulf of 1909 miles, while
Florida has Liza on the gulf and 1853
miles on the Atlantic, SO that both exceed
California in this particular. 1t was the
annexation of Alaska that promoted the
Pacific coast to a higher figure than the
Atlantic, Alaska having $3.50 miles of
coast line. These figures are taken from
the coast survey reports. Boston Post.
